Hi, This probably isnt' a bug, but rather a problem in my own understanding of the chacl command. I'm using cvsnt 2.0.58d with the pserver protocol for the clients, the server is running on WindowsXP. When an admin uses chacl to allow "write" on a directory by a certain user, for example with the following command: cvs chacl -u username1 -a read,write,nocontrol,tag,create . And then executes the following command for a file WITHIN the same directory cvs chacl -u username1 -a noread,nowrite,nocontrol,notag,nocreate file.c Should username1 be allowed to make commits to file.c? I would think no, because in this case the file permissions should have precedence over the directory permissions. However, when I try this out, username1 is able do anything to file.c except change ACLs. Note that username1 is a regular user who is not an admin (neither in the admins file nor under NTFS). Could someone help out? Thanks, Vlad
